Aryan Kumar, who began his entrepreneurial journey at 20, is now set to make his acting debut with Nafratein, a psychological drama that also stars Tanishq Tiwari. Though he found early success in business, Aryan never gave up on his passion for performance. While managing his company, he trained at a few acting institutes, including Barry John Acting Studio and Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares.
He recalls, “Honestly, I was always drawn to storytelling — through books, theatre, or cinema. But the real spark came when I did a small play in college and saw how it moved people. That moment stayed with me. After graduation, I shifted to Mumbai, started attending workshops, and slowly began carving a path in this industry.”
Speaking about Nafratein, Aryan says, “It’s essentially about how hate, when nurtured over time, becomes its own kind of obsession. My character walks the thin line between being a victim and becoming a perpetrator. It’s a psychological drama wrapped in a very real-world narrative.”
To prepare for the role, he did extensive groundwork. He shares, “I worked closely with a dialect coach, did some intense internal work, and even spent time with people who have been on the fringes of society due to emotional trauma. It wasn’t just about acting — it was about understanding pain without judgment.”
Landing the role came after a rigorous audition process. He reveals, “I auditioned multiple times over a period of weeks. The casting team was very clear about the emotional complexity they needed, and I had to push myself to match that. There were rejections before this project, which were tough, but each one taught me something.”
The film’s poster, which only shows the back of his character, has stirred intrigue. He says, “I absolutely loved the poster. The choice to show just the back adds a layer of detachment that fits perfectly with the film’s theme. It challenges the audience to look beyond the obvious. I think it’s a bold move.”
